Hearing
Continued from Page 1
Southerland said other major
universities in Texas have already
set their GUF higher than A&M.
“Most of the major universities
have put in advances far above
ours,” he said. “Our friends in
Austin are right at the top.”
Southerland said that in the
past, Texas state legislators have
denied requests for increased
state funds.
Legislators may deny requests
for additional state funding if they
do not believe universities have
done all they can to raise funds on
their own. He said instead of in
creasing state funding, the Legisla
ture provides a way for each school
to raise revenue, such as allowing
raising the state-set limit on tuition
and fees.
In 1995, the Legislature raised
the $12 limit on the GUF, sending it
from $12 to $24 per semester credit
hour. If the proposed increase for
the 1997 school year is approved,
the GUF will match tuition, which
is the current limit.
If the Board of Regents gives the
go-ahead, the first step toward in
creasing the GUF is a public hear
ing Nov. 25.
Southerland said the student
turnout at past hearings has been
disappointing. He said Bowen de
voted a lot of time to briefings and
hearings when he proposed a GUF
increase in the spring of 1995.
“We were surprised at the
turnout for the three briefings (in
the spring),” Southerland said. “It’s
more important for student leader
ship to be at this one, so I would ex
pect a good, reasonable turnout.”
Because the public hearing is
scheduled for the same day as Ele
phant Walk, there is some question
about how many students will
show up for the hearing.
Another, unrelated fee increase
is in the works. The University Cen
ter Complex Fee must be approved
by student vote, and its success will
suffer as a result of the possible in
crease in the GUF.
Chris Williams, MSG president
and a senior political science and
speech communication major, said
students may be confused about fee
increases because the University
Center Complex Fee referendum
will closely follow GUF discussions.
“I hope to keep the issues sepa
rate so students can be objective
about the fees,” he said. “The best
thing anybody can do is to keep
themselves informed.”
